her head TO the soes Of her feet wasa mass Of decay
OF flesh rotting of and leaving great cavities
Her fingers festered and three four nails dropped
of at time. Her limbs contracted by the fearful
liberation, and for several years she did not leave
her bed Her weight was reduced from 125 to 60 lbs
Perhaps some faint idea OF her condition can he
CLEANED from the fact that three pounds OF Cosmo-
line or ointment were used per week in dressing her
sores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their
defeat by this Black Wolf, and commended the auf-
ferer TO her all-wise Creator.
Her husband hearing wonderful reports Of the use
OF SwIFTs SPECIFIC Is. S. 81, prevailed on her to
try 1t as last resort She began its use under Do
test but soon found that her system was being re-
heved OF the poison as the sores assumed a red and
healthy color, as though the blood was becoming
pure and active. Mrs Bailey continued the s. S. IS
until last February; every sore healed she dis

power, for all the water drawn from
Rock river will be enough to run the
locks, and enough water escapes through
the brush dams at Milan every DAY TO
supply such canal for six weeks. 1t
would have absolutely no effect on the
water power of Rock river. Under the
patronage of the Business Mems associa>
lion of Moline, Mr.. G. A. Mari made
a survey for lateral canal, and is now
engaged on map of the same. This
survey contemplates feeder on the sur
viewed line of the Hennepin from Rock
river to WATERFOWL, giving head of
eleven feet and eight inches at low water
at Watertown, and canal from the pool
below Port Byron down along the river
bank to Watertown, thence leaving the
river and following a course nearly par
allel with the c., NJ & st, T. railroad
track down through slough or depres>
sion coming to the river again above
Dinock & Gould's lumber yard, thence
down Sylvan water to the government
water power, thence crossing or skirting
the point of the island and along the
south shore OF the island, making the
shore one bank, and building the other
bank down about two hundred yards
from the island shore in the form of
dam.
If this PROJECT is carried out it will ex-
tend the Moline water power along the
whole river front of Rock Island to the
point of the Government Island. giving
us opposite the present saw mills OF the
Lumber Company, a power much greater
even than that of the Water Power Com
psny at Moline, and this without the ex-
pendiIure of dollar except putting In
the wheels. 1t will cause the expendi-
ture of between $4,000, 600 and a. 000,-
900 wholly in Rock Island county. 1t
will give us much needed harbor, safe
navigation during eight months of the
year for the largest boats and packets.
and will in every way add to the material
advantages and prosperity of Rock Is
land.
There are very many other advan>
tages which VIII accrue to the city and
county of Rock Island which need not
be mentioned here. 1t will make steam
boat harbor and port at our sister city,
Moline. and by aiding navigation gener
ally, will not only be local benefit, but
work of national Importance 1t is a
work Of far more Importance to Rock
Island in every way than the Hennepin
canal ever can, or will be. 1t will give US
material advantages which the Hennepin
canal never can give, and without it, the
Rock river route for the Hennepin canal
is simply an absurd idea. With this
canal built, We can much better overcome
the objections to the Rock river route for
the Hennepin.
Would it not be we'll for the Business
| Mems Association to take some action
| in regard to this matter, and show some
! degree of interest IN It,

Napoleon is being driven back BY the
Russians. The polite magistrate strives
to preserve the peace and happine IS of
the place by assuming loyalty TO what

TRUE MERIT.

We wish to say to every one interested
in clothes washing that the Tuttle combi-
nation steam washer is an article OF true
MERIT that it is, without question. the
only complete family washing machine
ever known. 1t clenses the lfnest lace or
coarsest article of washing perfectly and
without injury The machine is easily
worked-a child ten years old being cap
able OF operating it, and will do q W; 'sh-
ing in tive hours that requires a bal d
days labor at the wash tub. The steam
washer is universally known as the only
true washer. The Tuttle steam washer
is of late origin, and an Improvement
over all others or it would not have been
granted q patent. There has been large
territory dispoied on the merits of the
Tuttle washer, and while there is a good
y field remaining unsold we callenge any
one to produce any enterprise with like
amount OF investments that will give an
enterprising man the same returns. FIX
ce!lent arrangements made with county
agents. To prove our claims for the ma
chine, we would refer you to parties who
have used the futile washer in this city
for nearly year, and who speak in high
est terms OF praise for the same. or we
vii be pleased TO show or operate the
washer at your homes free OF charge.

A BOOM IN SOUTH DODGE.

The parties who have had the nerve
and shrewdness to invest in real estate on
the South Side will never have cause to
regret it, as the signs of the times point
to large sized boom in that locality i'm
mediately The terminus of the main
line of the Dodge City street railway will
be at point in the southern limits of
that side of the city, thus giving ample
facilities of travel to and from the north
side. Besides, the Arkansas, Kansas &
Colorado, which is now engaged in sur
veying the line, will build large depot
and freight houses over there, which is
guarantee that a city of large proper
tons will be the inevitable result. 1t is
easily seen that South Dodge offers many
inducements for railroad shops and fac
tories of all kinds. Those who own
property in that section had better wait
for developments before parting with the

DODGE CITY.

OF the many prosperous towns and cit

more permanent, substantial growth than

queen OF the Arkansas valley has as
sumed metropolitan proportions and to-
day it is map of bustling activity and
busy life.
The attention of the reader is directed
to full and complete resume of her bus
mess interests and inducements to cap
italists and home seekers, to he found on
another page of this paper which tells
the story of the marvellous and wonder
full city that has so recently attracted the
attention and commanded the admiration
of all who have paid visit to this future
metropolis Of the Arkansas valley.
The history of Dodge City since its or
ganization would fill a large volume Her
people have had to contend with the bad
elements that infest the frontier but two
years ago they decided that lawlessness
and disorder should cease. and by a uni
ted effort for law and order cleansed their
city of law breakers, and laid the foun-
dation for growing, prosperous city
with obedience to law as the corner stone.
To-day Dodge City is shining exam
pie of what enterprise and public spirit
will accomplish in Kansas Her large
and spacious business houses, her elegant
and tasty homes, her beautiful church
edifices, her splendid public school build
ings and colleges stand as monument to
